<p>All you Tannehill fans, just remember he went higher than Nick Foles and Kirk Cousins. Would you take him over either of those 2?</p>Tony Irvine commented on 'The reason the Dolphins did nothing on Monday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b04185720970d2014-01-02T21:33:32Z2014-01-02T21:33:32ZTony IrvineThe big problem is Ross.

<p>He went behind Tony Sporano&#39;s back and tried to hire Harbaugh who smartly rejected him. He then had to go back, give Tony more money and have him coach a year more, knowing his boss was trying to get rid of him. A real formula for success. Is it any wonder, Jeff Fisher, Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne, Alex Smith and Harbaugh, all declined to come here?</p>
<p>He gives $210m to his alma mater and then comes to the tax payers in So. Fl to spot him $160m loan guarantees and wonders why people get upset. Totally clueless and insensitive.</p>
<p>Despite the bad press from the Jonathan Martin issue, the sporadic play from week to week and the collapse at the end of the season, he had no contingency plans, instead he sprang into a reactionary crawl. Now he appears weak and dithering as well as putting his respect for anyone retains in question.</p>
<p>The only thing he can do now is fire everyone, sell the team and let the new owner start fresh. He has damaged this franchise beyond repair.</p>DublcOtown13 commented on 'The reason the Dolphins did nothing on Monday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e201a5103398d3970c2014-01-02T08:40:32Z2014-01-02T08:40:32ZDublcOtown13And once again, the same problem has arisen as to why Ross is stuck with Ireland; not prepared to act...<p>And once again, the same problem has arisen as to why Ross is stuck with Ireland; not prepared to act quickly while good options are still available. Other teams once again were prepared to move quickly and very likely Ross will be relegated to having to keep Ireland by default. This may very well prove to be the case for our coaching staff also. Thid is the very reason this team is forever mired in mediocrity.</p>DublcOtown13 commented on 'The reason the Dolphins did nothing on Monday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e201a510336697970c2014-01-02T08:18:42Z2014-01-02T08:18:42ZDublcOtown13It should be abundantly clear by now that the organization is dysfunctional from top to bottom starting with Ross.

Sound like a tin of guys that don&#39;t get their hands dirty ever and think they&#39;re playing fantasy football. The GM will stay until there&#39;s a better option! He drafted well since Par cells left and done well in FA well actually this past one he did not . He set out to get a better LB to cover TE&#39;s which he did. Plus saw the drama vs actual stats and effort with marshall and other WR&#39;s. Got rid of the non help and kept Hartline and brought in Gibson, Wallace and TEKller! He can&#39;t help that our RBs suck! Jake Long ? Shockingly over paid and barelyplayed! So it was right to move on but he didn&#39;t replace him ! <br />
But just like every GM !! He doesn&#39;t always make solid moves! Tannehill will be the future and prices he should this year. He did a great job especially with the drama and god awful off line. Piss poor play calling. And no running game and Keller and Gibson out. </p>william commented on 'The reason the Dolphins did nothing on Monday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e201a3fb7bb4dc970b2014-01-01T17:47:18Z2014-01-01T17:47:18ZwilliamI think if Mike Sherman is a real friend he will resign and try to protect Joe Philbin job.

That being said we had the worst O line since I can&#39;t remember when and the worst run game. But a Defensive roster that should have been at the top of the stats. I like Philbin if he is kept that would be fine but would like to see him take over for Mike Sherman as I think Philbin would be better served as the play caller for the offense and bring Gruden in as head coach.

In the nfl, continuity is key, as long as the status quo is getting the job done. He has people in his ear with nfl experience like Carl Peterson advising him. He brought in other advisors like tony dungy and Jason Taylor. He wants to see his team do well. The better the product on the field- the more money he makes. Why do you buy an nfl franchise? Bc you want to make money. Don&#39;t you all get it! He&#39;s not going to sabotage the team bc then he won&#39;t make money. </p>
<p>He owns the friggin team so he isn&#39;t going anywhere. The climate is changing in miami for the better. FA again asserted that miami was a good destination to go. Right now, Ross has to make big decisions on the GM and coaching staff. Honestly if this regressed from last year, than blow it up. This team improved from last year and actually controlled its playoff destiny after the OL scandal when the team could have fallen apart! You don&#39;t necessarily want to blow up a team structure that should have netted at least 10 wins. What you might want to do is try subtle tweaks to the real culprit- the offensive and defensive play calling was atrocious this year...</p>Frank from PA commented on 'The reason the Dolphins did nothing on Monday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e201a5102aee3d970c2014-01-01T16:40:59Z2014-01-01T16:40:59ZFrank from PAThere are so many idiots on this blog.

WTF is the matter with you people. He played behind a line that gave up 58 sacks and couldn&#39;t open enough holes for the run game! His numbers improved nicely from season 1 to season 2. </p>
<p>You want to discuss changing coaches or GM- weigh in. But don&#39;t criticize the Tannehill. So he misses on deep throws. You know how you correct that- you get him a better offensive line who can protect and open up running lanes. And in the offseason, mike Wallace and Tannehill need to live together (sorry Lauren Tannehill) and throw to each other every friggin day! I&#39;m not really joking.</p>Claynavy0815 commented on 'The reason the Dolphins did nothing on Monday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e201a3fb7b09d1970b2014-01-01T16:29:03Z2014-01-01T16:29:03ZClaynavy0815http://profile.typepad.com/claynavy0815No...you shouldn't make decisions like this in an emotional haste....but waiting too long is just as bad..Houston just locked up...<p>No...you shouldn&#39;t make decisions like this in an emotional haste....but waiting too long is just as bad..Houston just locked up O&#39;Brien from Penn St. Don&#39;t let the well run dry</p>va commented on 'The reason the Dolphins did nothing on Monday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b0407092d970d2014-01-01T15:23:45Z2014-01-01T15:23:45Zvathis owner is truly football stupid.....

Getting rid of everyone and starting over is not an option either. </p>
<p>Tannehill did a great job considering he had to run for his life. This was proven by the record number of sacks he endured this year. Philbin has done a good job keeping things together despite the distractions the Dolphins encountered this year...takes good leadership to do that. </p>
<p>First and foremost Ireland needs to go. He left a glaring hole in the left side of the line thus killing any running game or pass protection for Tannehill. Sherman needs to be replaced too. Offense was too predictable and very little surprise to keep defenses off balance.</p>disgusted fin fan commented on 'The reason the Dolphins did nothing on Monday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b04062ef2970d2014-01-01T13:36:31Z2014-01-01T13:36:31Zdisgusted fin fanHere's a question.

We gave up a 1st and 2nd round pick to take him at #3 overall and he was just a bit player this season ending up with 2 sacks. When you make a move that bold the guy has to be in the starting lineup, particularly on an 8-8 team. I personally don&#39;t see him as a down lineman, his build and skill set don&#39;t support it, especially with Vernon coming on the way he did. He needs to play in space, he&#39;s really an OLB in a 3-4, but we play a 4-3. So just WHAT do we do with him?</p>smitrock commented on 'The reason the Dolphins did nothing on Monday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e201a3fb76c11d970b2014-01-01T08:18:45Z2014-01-01T08:18:45ZsmitrockListen, without Tom Brady where would NE be this year?

The AFC east would be the NFC north. My point is, the dolphins have the same problems as NYJ and Buffalo, they didn&#39;t luck into Tom Brady. However, they are close, fire the OC, DC and several position coaches that have no clue, and most our problems are solved. </p>Finsfan Ralph commented on 'The reason the Dolphins did nothing on Monday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e201a3fb72e625970b2014-01-01T01:16:28Z2014-01-01T01:16:28ZFinsfan RalphHonestly-- this team has a lot of warts that led to another mediocre season, especially on offense.

when teams make sweeping changes most times the plan is a 3-4 year plan. huge 1 year turnarounds are rare, and only happen when the team has stopped listening to the coach (Andy Reid), or the coach is in way over his head(Cam Cameron). also, 99% of retread coaches don&#39;t win anything. I believe Philbin deserves another year, bringing in a new GM at this point isn&#39;t worthwhile. would rather bring a new GM in when you do fully clean house and let him pick the new coach. </p>chris commented on 'The reason the Dolphins did nothing on Monday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e201a5101f7d35970c2013-12-31T20:16:27Z2013-12-31T20:16:27ZchrisLexter- thank you for finally some intelligent commentary!<p><br />

First, Horrible, almost suspicious refereeing cost us a couple of games this year.. Less That Great Kicking <br />
Lost us at least one game. Ireland I am all for getting rid of, But Tannehill Is a Great QB with No O-Line. If We Fix the O-line, we Easily go 10 - 6. Do yourself a Favor, Look at Teams with a Pass Rush that we played, We Lost to those teams. Teams Without a significant pass rush - We won most of those. This isn&#39;t a Philben Issue. Its a personnel Issue. Its Offensive Linemen. We Need an O-Line.. If you Scream &quot;Fire the Head Coach&quot; every year, you will have the same level of success as the Cowboys, or the Redskins, Or the Browns, or the Raiders.

First though a new regime does not put the organisation back 2 years, see KC or Philadelphia, Seattle, San Fran et al. <br />
If he doesn&#39;t act now he will in 12 months after 3 and 13.The team does NOT respect the coaches and gave them the finger with the last 2 games.<br />
Now how are you going to sell tickets Ross for next season. You&#39;ve got to give people hope at least, that&#39;s what you sell.</p>fin4life commented on 'The reason the Dolphins did nothing on Monday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e201a5101ef450970c2013-12-31T19:25:46Z2013-12-31T19:25:48Zfin4lifehttp://profile.typepad.com/6p019104121a7f970cPosted by: The Truth | December 31, 2013 at 01:00 PM Before McCarron I would take Aaron Murray by late...<p>Posted by: The Truth | December 31, 2013 at 01:00 PM</p>

Mike Sherman evaluated Thill and promotes him to the starting job on the basis of training camp with a new offense that only T-hill was familiar with from college. Sherman is not credible and should and will be the first guy fired from the staff. Mike Sherman needs to be held accountable for a terrible job as offensive coordinator. Does anyone think Sherman will be given offers any where else in the NFL? He has held T-hills hand since he was drafted.

He had no plan B. He had no plan at all really. He is a joke of an owner who simply does not understand football. <br />
The major issue with thinking this out and waiting, is that the top coaching and GM candidates are going to be scooped up by the teams who made changes immediately. This is also going to give Philbin and Ireland time to sway Ross with dumb statements like &quot;This is a good team&quot;, &quot;We are very close to winning&quot;, blah blah. <br />
Gut reactions to these situations are almost always correct - by those who know football. The mere fact he is waiting, did not have a plan in place, all means he is completely incompetent as an owner. He&#39;s also the idiot who gave Ireland an extension before seeing how the season panned out. That is total lunacy. </p>wallyfin commented on 'The reason the Dolphins did nothing on Monday'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b03faaa30970d2013-12-31T17:50:25Z2013-12-31T17:50:25ZwallyfinI think Pennigton could really help Tannehill and i hope the Dolphins figure this out.
